Research Lead at CoinMarketCap, Alice Liu, predicts that the top trend in the digital asset sector in 2025 will be Real World Assets (RWA) due to the increasing involvement of institutional investors. Liu notes that the RWA sector is experiencing strong demand and expects the first billion-dollar fund in the sector to emerge soon. She also highlights that decentralized science, decentralized artificial intelligence, AI agents, AI-powered DeFi, and memecoins will be prominent in 2025. Liu mentions that memecoins have been the most popular sector on CoinMarketCap and predicts continued growth in the memecoin industry. She believes that Bitcoin has significant potential this year, especially with increased institutional engagement after Trump's inauguration. Liu suggests that 2025 will be the year when Bitcoin goes mainstream due to corporate and national state adoption, as spot Bitcoin ETFs have gained approval in various parts of the world. She also mentions Trump's move to establish a strategic BTC reserve for the U.S. Treasury and how it may influence other countries to adopt the crypto asset. Scot Melker predicts that if Trump fulfills his promise, Bitcoin's price could skyrocket to $500,000. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $94,386.
